Lord Salisbury made several effective speeches at Bristol on Tuesday.

In one of them he insisted that if separate race and geographical position is to entitle to a separate Parliament and Administration, Cornwall would be at

Lord Salisbury hoped that whenever Cornwall obtained this privilege, it would enter into alliances satisfactory to Bristol, as otherwise the posi- tion of that great city at the top of an estuary commanded by the Cornish fleet and guns, would not be exactly com- fortable. Indeed, Tre, Pol, and Pen, with their forty thousand Cornishmen, would be well able to reduce the commerce of Bristol to a vanishing quantity.
